Week 3 run 3 bad achey jelly legs tonight 😩 Even though I completed the run feel a little disheartened and nervous for week 4 😓

No need to be disheartened, you are doing just fine.

Give week 4 a go and even it is a bit too much at this stage, there is absolutely no problem in repeating a week.

You've completed week 3 - you're ready to move on and try week 4. What's the worst that can happen? If you don't quite manage it, it's just a practice run for when you are successful.

You can do this!

Why disheartened? Just over three weeks ago, you didn't run. Three weeks ago, running for 60s at a stretch was challengjng, and now you've just run for 3-minute intervals! Look how far you've come in such little time.

You can do this!

Read RainbowC 's reply one more time, she's wise!

You're doing really well! Don't feel disheartened. Try not to think about what week 4 has in store. I think it's far better to just go out there and have a go. Whenever I doubted if I could manage the next run, I was always amazed when I could! Trust in the programme, it really is very well designed. We all managed it, so will you! Just keep going slow and steady. Don't go off too fast. Enjoy! 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻😀😀

Hi Bizzilizzi,

You are doing great.

The programme is designed to help you to gradually improve, week by week, even run by run. Don't get disheartened about whats to come. Look back at what you have already achieved. Your legs will get stronger and as you get fitter you will looking forward to the next challenge.

Keep at it and your body will adapt.

All the best.

Give your legs a bit of TLC. They're working hard. Try a bath with Epsom salts after your run. Roll out your legs with a rolling pin, fairly vigorously before and after your runs. Maybe invest in a roller, foam or plastic to do this with. You're training these muscles up and it is natural that they protest a bit. Keep at it, it will all come right.
